Every trip to the East Coast demands a visit to a pizzeria and we could not be more pleased than…read moreour meal at Enzina in Waltham. Enzina sits in a 19th century brick building that it shares with its sister bakery. It seats about 12 tables so reservations are highly recommended. We were greeted promptly by the manager who was genuinely friendly - warmth is not a trait shared by most Bostonians. We ordered a large sausage pizza. The crust is made fresh daily by Enzina's bakery while the sauce is made in-house. The sausage is the star here - made locally by a high street Italian butcher shop. The final product was a masterpiece of east coast pie - firm crust, properly sauced, and a compelling amount of the delicious Italian sausage. We alo ordered the Tagliatelle Bolognese which was some of the best we have ever enjoyed. The sauce is made from veal, pork, and beef and only served on the day it is made (leftovers is given to a local food bank.) The house-made pasta was perfectly al dente. We would rate this Bolognese in our all-time Top Ten, which is saying a lot. Typical trattoria ambiance, prompt service, and delicious fare! Enzina is a must visit.

First time here for karaoke only. Seems like a very popular hangout place as it was quite busy and…read morelively when we got there. There is a DJ booth and a sort of stage area with screens showing the lyrics. You put your name and song choice on paper slips and hand them to the DJ. The screens show the next 3 songs coming up. Also there's a white board where the DJ puts the next 15-20 names on the list so you know when you're going to sing. Our group got to sing about a half hour in which wasn't bad at all. The sound system is loud enough to be heard over the noise and sounds of the place itself so that is good. There is a pool table area in the back as well. Overall was a fun time singing here!

True Score: 3.5 Stars…read more Wanted to like this place more, but very skewed to locals. Definitely a dive that serves decent food. A good amount of people drinking and it is loud. Weirdly though the clientele wasn't very friendly. We like to hit joints like this, unassuming, not updated, boozing establishments but I will say this one wasn't my favorite. It's not bad, wouldn't make it a point to travel over an hour to make it back. If we passed through the area on another adventure, maybe. You decide. Thanks

It's a fun, modern take on a restaurant environment, but I still found it just okay. The beers on tap weren't the most interesting; good representation of different styles but not a lot of diversity in breweries. The layout also feels a bit weird, with tables and group activities (ping pong, etc) making for awkward paths and not a lot of intermingling. Finally, I didn't try any food on my visit, but it was funny to see the interior get pretty smoky at times; maybe a new ventilation system is overdue.

With excellent pizza, service and a great cocktail and wine menu, everything they offer is excellent. We have been only a few times mainly because this place gets so jam packed that it is hard to get a table. Small, quaint and cute neightborhood gem. You can tell all the locals flock to this place every weekend. The bar is also perfect to grab a quick bite and it is first come first serve. Move over Tatte because this Spiced Carrot Soup was phenomenal. And, I mean it. From asking the owner to "how do I make this at home" to practically wanting to order another bowl. And, don't get me started on their homemade foccacia bread that came with it. Every dunk of this bread into the luscious soup had me craving more and more. Best part, I was actually full. Hallelujah! All I have to say is head to Jinny's for their pizza, but don't forget they have a whole menu to choose from as well. And, everything tastes great and is nice and fresh. You will definitely stay awhile eating and drinking here at this cozy spot. Cheers~

One of the very best pizza spots in and around Newton!…read more The dough is amazing. It's soft and pillowy, just how I like my crust. Everything is fired in a wood oven, that you can get a full view of in the open concept kitchen. Seating is pretty limited, but in the summer there are a few outdoor tables. It's a great spot for take out as well, although parking can be a challenge at peak times. The pizza is a smaller size and runs north of $20. It's worth it, but more for the artisan pizza taste and quality. This likely isn't the place you're going to buy 10 pizzas for the SuperBowl, but if you're looking for high quality ingredients and the perfect dough, this is your spot. The available specialty pizzas are great combinations of flavors. I think they even do one with pineapple, as controversial as that is for some people. I saw the Rosso Pie online, but not on the menu when I went to dine-in. The friendly waiter was more than happy to request it for me from the kitchen. Sometimes I like a pie with no cheese on it. Difficult to find great pizza in MA, but this place fits the bill. Great pizza, great people.

The food, which is really why you're reading, was very very good - we had perfect salmon, crispy and tasty chicken parm, and solid salads. BUT the meatballs were the star, they were so close to my mom's meatballs that I would probably lose in a taste test between the two. They are the protype that all meatballs should follow, flavorful, Italian-y, and you kept wanting to take another bite. If you do nothing else, get the meatballs and run. Aside from the 5 star meatballs, there were two misses: the garlic bread was basically just cheese (not my thing), and the marinara was too basic and too close to jar sauce. We had a really good meal here, and would go back again any time. You should go too.
